Art from a box!

This week I have been making a little sculpture for a submission to an exhibition that is all about art and boxes! Perfect for me really! I decided to have a go at making a converse trainer from a converse shoe box! It's been fun, that's for sure, the beauty of the converse shoe box is that they have the sole of the converse trainer drawn on the base of the box, which I have used to create the sole of my cardboard converse shoe! Here are some informal shots of it...





Yes it is made entirely from cardboard - even the laces (they were quite tricky to make!!)

Draw draw and more draw!

Recently I have been busy with doing some art workshops in a couple of schools and drawing! Here are another 2 drawings I've been working on for a comptetition. I'm not sure whether I'm going to enter all 3 (including the one in my last post). Here is another finished one, and one I started today!



It's not easy to photograph drawings so forgive the yellowness! My scanner isn't quite big enough for them so photographing is all that's availble for the time being, until I sort an alternative!
